25th Teddy Bear [Voice/Action][TWO DAYS]

[[Nighttime; June 23rd]]

[Elicia had had a tough week.

Shuffle, shuffle—the sound of turning blankets and small feet moving back and forth through them. She's been rolling in her sleep for a few minutes now, flipping her hidden journal into a little book tepee, while it records the buzzing air and soft incoherent murmurings of a child dreaming. They're not happy dreams, after a while, and it takes but a moment before she's wide awake and horrified and crawling under her blankets with her mouth in a shaky near-crying line. The journal. That's right.

She reaches over and opens it up all the way, unable to see anything in the dark. Her voice is watery and lined with a sort of innocent, hurt desperation when she speaks.]


[Voice]

Please tell me a story. I wanna hear stories, if anyone... wants to talk... I like them a lot. I—I promise I'll go back to sleep, but I just wanna hear one...

[Pretty, pretty please...

But despite stories, sometime in the night, she rises up from her bed and patter-pitters quickly into her parents' room. Scary, they're too scary—and they could be real. Because she's seen scary real things like it before. And the last thing she wanted was a blue-eyed woman slowly creaking out of her closet, like she kept imagining, over and over and over again...]


[[Daytime; June 24th]]


[It was a cold snap, today. Elicia wore her poofy pink jacket for the occasion. Truth be told, she's had a very tiring night of trying to sleep, and she'd failed at it fairly well. There were a mesh-up of things. Scary things. She didn't want to draw any of them, so she decided on focusing her attention to playing. By the end of her short-lived playtime outside, she's laying on her arm on the front steps of her house, the fake pink sword Law gave her still clamped in her hand.

A good nap. There was nothing scary... Just good. That was important. It's a good thing children bounce back well enough, even if only for a while, because she's got a content air about her later on in the day. Anyone who wants to visit, now's a great time to; she'll be drawing funny circles all over the ground outside with a stick. Clapping her hands and smacking them. And nothing happens. :|

But she sure as hell is pretending something's happening.]




Bam!! Now you can't stand against my dirt alchemy!! [throws dirt up with her hands at her big teddy bear >:^(

HA, screw you, teddy, you've got dirt on your head!]

You'd better give up soon, or else I'll have to use my water attack next!!

[AND THEN YOU'LL BE MUDDY!!!]

((ooc: Just make it clear which day you're replying to and all that. I have faith in you. |Db))

Really? I've heard that it looks real to people with the right sort of imagination.

Where I'm from, it's against the law not to have an imagination. [She'll put her sharp, sharp real sword away now.]

Then they come and take you away, and they ban you from playgrounds and make you become an accountant.

They have to stay in a room full of dust and count money. All the time. It makes them very angry.

Oh, very angry. They can't stop sneezing, and it makes them very upset.

Then their sneezes will go back up into their brains instead and that's not a very nice feeling.

They can. They're very sneaky things, sneezes. You shouldn't ever trust them.

[Action]

[identity profile] flicker-flash.livejournal.com 2011-07-30 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no. They sometimes get trapped in your nose, and then when they realise they leave as soon as they can. But sneezes have their own world, you know. They live in little villages out in valleys where nobody can hear them. They're very loud, after all.

[Action]

Oh, yes. The cleanest houses in the entire world. If any dust gets inside, well. The sneeze might sneeze itself right through the wall and cause lots of damage. They've lost entire villages that way, you know.

[Action] ...how did we get onto this 8|a

[identity profile] flicker-flash.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no! Only sneezes have problems like that. Because if a sneeze sneezes, it's a lot more than a tickle up the nose. It's like the poor sneeze tries to travel in eight different directions at once.

So true.

[identity profile] flicker-flash.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no. It's all right if you sneeze, because then you're helping the sneeze to escape.

[So clearly you should just sneeze as much as possible. Here's some dust, it's for a good cause.]
